Toussaint Nothias

I research journalism, social media and civil society in Africa. I am currently working on a project about Facebook's Free Basics initiative across different African contexts. I am also developing an open-source tool that deploys digital technologies to scan for damaging stereotypes and implicit biases in journalistic reporting about Africa (Africa Stereotype Scanner - ASTRSC). Come and talk to me about these projects and more generally: net neutrality and zero-rating, bias and technology, digital advocacy and activism in the Global South, and tech corporations investments in network infrastructures.
